“...who formerly were not a people but now are the people of God.”

What if we put aside the trappings of institutional religion and simply followed Christ? (Colossians 2:6-8,16-23)

What if we neglected human traditions instead of neglecting the word of God? (Mark 7:6-13)

What if we relied on God more than people, and resolved to obey God over and above anyone else? (Psalm 118:8-9; Acts 5:29)
